Geraldyn Dismond J is f ra ne’ \\\4 Pea KL eae i a en rt URS all Re Be a 84291: Bs pre ROBESON, after a sensational career in London, returned to Carnegie Hall, Tuesday, November 5th, for the first in his series of two concerts-of Negro music. A capacity house without even standing room greeted the eminent baritone, and the applause that arose when he stepped upon the stage was proof positive of his popularity as an artist and.a man. He has the same height, captivating smile and gracious manner, and naturally, sweet baritone voice, but to these assets has been added greater ease of delivery, a depth and sureness that makes his singing soul-stirring. He brought to our music so much dignity, after the accustomed levity with which it is too often handled, that at first his work seemed over restrained. 7 = Lawrence Brown who made the ma- jority of the arrangements, was at the Piano and for two numbers—Ezekicl Saw de Wheel, and Every Time I Feel de Spirit—sang with Mr. Robeson. The program was as follows: I got a Home in-a dat Rock, arranged by Lawrence Brown; I stood on de Ribber of Jerdan, arranged by H. T. Bur- leigh; Weepin’ Mary, arranged by H. %. Burleigh; Every Time I Feel de Spirit, arranged by Lawrence Brown; Swing Low, arranged by Lawrence Brown: On Ma Journey, arranged by Edward Boatner; Water Boy, arranged by Avery Robinson; Exhortation, Will Marion Cook; I’m Goin’ to Tell God Al My Troubles, arranged by Law- rence Brown; Dere's No Hidin’ Place, arranged by Lawrence Brown; Nobody Knows de Trouble I’ve Seen, arranged by Lawrence Brown; Ezekiel Saw de Wheel, arranged by Lawrence Brown; Hear de Lambs a-Cryin’, arranged by Lawrence Brown; By an’ by, arranged by H. T. Burleigh; Joshua Fit de Bat- tle ob Jericho, arranged by Lawrence Brown. From the amount of applause, Every Time I Feel de Spirit, On My Journey, Water Boy and Deep River were the favorites of the audience. Water Boy was the only one, however, that Mr. Robeson repeated. At the close of the program the audience refused to move and’ only after endless bows (in the approved European fashion) and the rendition of My Soul is a Witness For My Lord, did the patrons reluct- antly leave. In the grand tier boxes were A’Lelia Walker, guest of the Carl Van Vechtens, Eddie Wasserman, Edwin Keith, Lottie Tyler, Alberta Hunter, Eunice Shreeves, Lewis Dennis, Walter Gaffney, Wil- helmina Adams and her mother, Evelyn Laney, Margaret Telfair, Charles King, Attorney Edith Spurlock Sampson of Chicago, the guest of Geraldyn Dis- mond, Charles Harvey and his wife, ‘Elaine Mason, who is doing a portrait of Mr. Robeson for the Musical Digest. Among the occupants of the upper boxes were Alice Dunbar Nelson, Nan- mie Burroughs, Minnie Patterson and Ethel Gardner. Scattered through the orchestra were Harry Burleigh, Daniel Haynes, the Noah D. Thompsons, Sadie Tandy, Inez Richardson Wilson, Ann Viney, the Rudolph Fischers, the Billy Pierces, the Elmer Sawyers, the Walter ‘Whites, Lena Tyers, Georgia Williams and Langston Hughes. Mr. Robeson’s second Carnegie Hall recital was held Sunday evening, Nov- ember 10th. * * * Walter Gaffney, who knows the host game like nobody else, had one of his very special cocktail parties Tuesday night after the Robeson recital. It was, of course, the last word. Cock- tails, highballs, liquers, caviar, salads, sandwiches and delicacies whose names I know not. All with the most exquisite of Gaffney silver, china, glass and linen. I never feel so elegant as when trailing through his apartment.

And while the waiters cleared tables and piled chairs, we watched Billy Mitchell put the girls through a number. * -_ * Not content to turn in, we wangled down to 133rd Street where Lebert Lezama and Austin Toomey were open- ing a speaketheasy that morning. The smartest of places—all modernistic and everything. And then to complete the evening, I sprained my foot, and hence- forth have beeen enjoying a forced rest. * 8 & Alberta Hunter will make a singing short for Warner Brothers between the 18th and 2ist of November. The songs that she will use have not been announced. ee * Friday, Rockland Palace, Apex Beauty Hall. There are always three things you can count on at an Apex Beauty Ball. There will be beauties— there were sixty-four this year; there will be a crowd—3,000 came out Friday; and there will be celebrities to judge them—and here they are: Leonard Warper, noted producer; Clifton Webb of the Little Show; Billy Pierce, famous instructor of dance; Wally Warburton, John Wanamaker's nephew; Frances Williams, star of “Scandals”; Irene Del- roy, most beautiful blonde, of “Sketch Rook": Ben Blue, star of “Sketch a a x ae Sh aie * ie rey Poe et ee ae et Pa) a onc: ye eee \ an | gy RB \ oe : Ie ha seus BS ee a le Pe ie Oe pn eR ee %, Ph Book”; Beatrice Lille, noted English comedienne; Vera Caspary, novelist, au- thor of “White Girl’; Fred Morgan, Graphic cartoonist; Garland Anderson, author of “Appearances”; Charles Mor- rison, publicity manager for RKO; Jack Halley, star‘of “Follow Thru”; Will Mahoney, “Sketch Book”; Paul Gregory, “Whoopee”; Madeline Cameron “Follow Thru”; Vera Sampson Winslow, editor of Delincator; Jack Biglow, “Variety” Magazine and Irene Bordoni, star of “Paris.” : MARGARET HOWARD, who for the sec- ond time in two years won one of the prizes in the Apex Beauty Contest. This time she was chosen third. Miss Howard will be on the re- ception commit- tee to receive the winners in the Tattler’s “Queen of the Classic Contest” to be held at Bamboo Inn Monday, No- vember 25th. it was a gay event, Apex banners hung here, there and everywhere. Emery S. Hutchins, stage manager for Hot Chocolates, assisted by Garland Pal- mer, Dr. Perky Perkinson, Robert “Skeeter” Gorham, David “Chink” Wat- kins and Robert Watson, conducted the whoopee. First Ann Jones’ Kiddies did their stunts. Then from Hot Chocolates came Baby Cox, Edith Wilson, Flo- rence Parham and the Six Cracker Jacks, the Meeres, Roland Holder and the Eight Bon Bon Buddies. And im- mediately followed the big parade of beauties with Universal camera men grinding away. There was the prancing, posing and oggling that makes up a beauty con- test, but when the smoke cleared away, Vernie Jones had the $100 and the honor of being the most beautiful girl in the group. Florrie Miller, of “Harlem” who won third prize last year, won second place; Margaret Howard of the Savoy who came in fourth last year, had moved up to third place; Ethlyn Smith of the Savoy was fourth, Myrtle Whithe, milliner, fifth; Lenore Winkler of “Harlem”, sikth; and Lillian Green of the Savoy, seventh. The browns had won the day—or should one say— the evening? * * * Monday brought the Citizens Christ- mas Cheer Committee Annual Benefit to the Renaissance. This year, the group of earnest workers under Mayme L. Briggs, presented a costume ball which proved quite an interesting diver- sion, particularly since prizes were of- fered for the most beautiful, most origi- nal and most amusing costumes. After the usual stepping, visiting and sipping, common to all Harlem dances, the judges, Bessye Bearden, Edith Spur- lock Sampson, Geraldyn Dismond and James L. Hubert hied themselves to seats at the foot of the bandstand and a parade of the revellers was in order. The members of the committee who had donned costumes, led the procession and after one turn, dropped out, leav- ing the contestants. At the close of the promenade, Mr. Hubert, as spokes- man for the judges, presented the awards which had been secured by Wilhelmina Adams and her committee. : The Justice Academy of Business donated the first gift, a two months’ course which was awarded to Minnie. Smith, a charming gypsy in a dress of red bandana kerchief. Lulu Burney Fields and Evelyn Laney received the second and third for beautiful costumes—$2.50 each in gold, the gift of £dwin Smalls. Mrs. Fields very graciously gave hers to the committee. Evelyn Ramsey carried off first honors for the most original costume. Her Aunt Jemima outfit won for her a table lamp and shade donated by Silvers Furniture Company. ‘The beautiful Alice Nearon as an apache, won the second, a georgette gown, a gift from the Evelyn Lingerie Shoppe; and Cleon Gilliard, as a gay tropical bird, the third, three manicures, the gifts of the Misses Casey and Edmunds at the Elite Barber Shop. Mark Foster, with- out question, was the most amusing person of the evening . Impersonating a homely, but vain lady of abominable taste, he carried off $5.00 in gold, the gift of Edwin Smalls for the most grotesque costume. s * *€ For nearly a half century, Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, Rev. James W. Brown, D. C., pastor, has been con- ducting an annual fair during the month of November. The 46th Fair opened Monday, the 4th, with a church supper, a play and the judging of the booths. This year the Varick Christian En- deavor Society, Mrs. E. A. Gordon, president, and Mme. Leah Kate Walker, directress, presented the Beantown Choir, an amusing comedy in three acts, Edith L. Caines, Estelle N. Foote, Wilson Lyles, H. L. Dortch, Mabel Wil- liams, Ellen Berry, Lucille Simson, Lillian Marons, Alberta Lyles, Anna Robinson, Theodore Robinson, Sadie Seaport, Booker Ramsye, Julius Lown- des, Lafayette Williams and Wayman Alston. One of the Special Features of the fair is the decoration of the booths for which prizes are offered. To award these prizes, it has been the custom to invite a number of ladies, about seven in number, to act as judges on the opening night. It is their business to carefully examine the booths, ob- serving the artistic manner in which they have been decorated. These ladies ire selected outside of Mother Zion’s Page Five ney. Edith Spurlock Sampson, Mary Lane Ross, Jean Bolden Smith and Geraldyn Dismond were chosen. After deliberating for two hours, the chair- man, announced the’ following ten awards from 21 booths. The first went to Class Number I, a slidiola booth, decorated by Mesdames Scott and Colder; the second to class No. 5 for Autumn, by Mesdames Dye and Phillips; the third, to cass No. 20, for Winter, by Mesdames Swiggett and Bell; . the fourth to class No, 3 for Japanese booth by Mesdames Callmore and Jones; the fifth, to Thanksgiving. by Mesdames Nixon and Hill; the sixth to class No. 14 for Vanity, by Mesdames Tram- mell and Patton; the seventh to ciss No. 9 for a Swann booth by Mes- dames Stevenson and Morrjs; the cighth, to class No. 7 fF a ‘Sud Parlor, by Mesdames Gillespié and Hen- derson; the ninth, to class No, 1 for Autumn, by Medames Wade and Harris; and the tenth, to class No .6 for Jacob’s Ladder, by Mesdames Duzano and Don. Because all of the booths were so attractive. a special uward was given to each of the eleven remaining booths. Class No. 13, Josh House; No. 15, Shepherd Watching Flock; No. 17, Shop Window; No. 19, Christmas Booth; No. 21, Toy Booth: No. 2, Parrot Cage; No. 8, Rose Booth: No. 10, Flower Basket Booth; No. 12, Sobol Brothers Gasoline Sta- tion; No. 16, Telephone Booth; No. 18, Robbing the Bird’s Nest. All of the booths were made entirely,by hand and of paper. The results were marvelous. se & WHOOPEE! Imagine an Election Night one year before the Volstead Law: 1,200 people; noise makers; streamers; confetti; fancy hats; singing und dancing; Old John Barleycorn— and Vernon Andrades’ orchestra. Then you may have an idea of the Social Rounders’ Election Night Dance. Tues- day evening, November 5th at the Ren- aissance Casine, from ten on, the crowd stayed until the last strains of Vernon -\ndrades’ versatile orchestra died away and then everyone seemed reluctant to leave. The surprise of the evening was the entertainment by Grace Rector, two ace tap dancers, and a seocnd Snakehips in the person of John Burnell. Every box was full and the hosts and hostesses were the well known Ace Club, Alpha Whist Club, Sphinx Club, Mah Jong Girls, Morris Heights Ex- celsiors, Nightingale Club, Clover Whist Club, Ace of Clubs, Osbiny, College Eleven, Cavalliers, Allen University, Les Wil Lor Glad Girls, Poro Girls, Ideal Club, Inc., represented by .Byron and Morrell, Bescony Boys, Station Club, Edith Stothart, C.

The first reports came Wednesday evening when all workers gathered at Campaign Headquarters, 204 West 136th Street, in a Campaign Rally. Miss Smith. when interviewed, de- cuys vevwws clared that the response from the churches, clubs and other agencies, as well as the individual workers, far ex- ceeded expectations, and the indications are that far more than 10,000 members will be secured. ‘ *s 8 8 In connection with the Harlem cam- paign for Better Negro Business, Dr. Robert R.

At the same time, they are beautifying their stores, in- stalling better systems of accounting, studying salesmanship, and adopting such other methods in order to better equip themselves to meet the present day competition.

BAIN, Theatrical Editor At The Lafayette The 1930 Edition of the funniest and most pretentious revue of the season is playing to capacity audiences at the Lafayette Theatre this week. With a cast of some forty-odd comedians, dancers, singers and A THERESA JENTRY, now starring in Ziegfeld's Chicago "Show Boat" company, who was missed by her friends at the Apex Beauty Contest in which she had previously won the fifth prize. dramatic artists; with scenery and costumes far more beautiful than any seen at the Lafayette Theatre within the last year, "Brown Skin Models of 1930" is a credit to the producing genius of Irvin C. Miller and Blanche Thompson. Shelton Brooks and Hamtree Harrington provide most of the comedy for this revue and they were never funnier. Others in the cast are: Eva Metcalf, Blanche Thompson, the Ming Toy Troupe, the Variety Dancers and a group of eighteen of the prettiest brown skin girls that have ever graced a colored revue. The photoplay program consists of the all-talking dramatic hit "Careers" and an all-talking singing and dancing feature comedy starring Miller and Lyles, the greatest colored comedians on the stage today. "Careers" is the first talking picture starring Miss Billie Dove. It is a story of intrigue, murder and romance in far-off Chi- TALKING PICTURES MUSICAL COMEDY REVUES "A MERICA'S LEADING COLORED THEATRE" LAFAYETTE 7th AVE. at 32nd ST.

Antonio Moreno and Noah Beary are in the supporting cast. The talking comedy, in which Miller and Lyles appear is entitled "The Jim-Town Cabaret." Miller and Lyles do some of their best work in this picture, appearing to even better advantage than they can on the stage. A beautiful chorus, some well-known specialty dancers and jazz band and the 'Shuffle Along Four' (famous singing quartette) perform in "The Jim-Town Cabaret." At The Alhambra Bebe Townsend in the title role of "The Gangster Girl" at The Alhambra Theatre this week, displays emotional gifts of high order. Miss Townsend to all appearances is in a role made to order for her. Artie Cain as an underworld girl, George Randol as the proprietor of a tough night club, and Thomas Moseley as a drunken criminal lawyer are capable performers. Billy Shepard is a lad from the country enslaved by drugs. Standleigh Morrell, who comes from the same small town as the beauty who has become a gangster girl, tries to save her from the wild life, into which she has plunged, but is scorned and later killed for his devotion. 'The Gangster Girl' is merciless in its revelations of the pitfalls that await those who choose a reckless life. "Whoopee Days," on the other hand is all gayety. Dusty Fletcher, Sam Manning and Mandy Randolph are as usual funny. Eloise Bennett has gorgeous songs, some of which are written by herself. The faststepping Alhambra chorus lives up to its well-earned reputation in picturesque costumes. Babe Hines delight with songs and Tommy Woods provide amazing dances. A quartette of girls keep up a speedy dancing pace. Fletcher Henderson's "Whoopee" song is featured to great applause. The show close with a novelty surprise, "Shadowland." Sally O'Neill, the musical comedy madcap is star of the picture, "Broadway Fever."

Pierce is well known along the White Light District, especially among white professionals for his ability to impart to them a knowledge of the terpsichorean art, suitable to win public approval before the footlights. It is reliably stated that he has graduated from his studio from time to time many of those whose names are headliners in numerous Broadway productions. Until recently, it would appear, Pierce had little or no competition to speak of, but now it is different. Mable Horsey, who it is alleged was formerly employed by Pierce to play little soft tunes on the piano, while his pupils learned to dance their way to fame and possibly fortune is now in the business for herself and has so stated to the world, by claiming to put finishing touches on some noted pupils, some of whose names were published in these columns last week. By letter to this department a copy of which will be found herewith, Pierce takes issue with the lady and denies the accuracy of her statements. And to make things doubly interesting for those in the know and stage folk in particular Pierce states further that Miss Horsey is not the only one who is guilty of this kind of plagiarism. He charges Messers George and Connie Immerman, producers of "Hot Chocolates," now playing the Hudson Theatre to capacity business, with similar 'fall from grace.' Specifically he states that Rowland Holder did not learn his "Syncopated Soft Shoe" dance from Bill Robinson, as printed in the Hudson Theatre programs. The letters to the Tattler's Theatrical Editor follows: "Dramatic Editor: "There appeared in your magazine issue of October 27th an article stating that one Mabel Horsey had taught divers persons dancing supposed to be in the Navex Building. On behalf of the people mentioned, they have asked me to deny the statement as an absolute falsehood. "The same thing has happened in reference to one George Immerman and Connie, who are the owners of 'Hot Chocolates.'

It is reliably stated that he has time to time many of those whose Broadway productions. as you have the untruths of the above mentioned people. (Signed) Billy Pierce." The letter from Mr. Pierce to George Immerman follows: "Mr. George Immerman, Care of Connie's Inn, 131st St., and 7th Ave., New York City. "Dear Mr. Immerman: "It has been called to my attention numerous times, of an article published in your general publicity to newspapers throughout the country, of your wonderful 'Hot Chocolates' company now playing at the Hudson Theatre, in reference to Rowland Holder, having been taught the 'Syncopated Soft Shoe' tap dance by Bill Robinson. "I do not know whether it was done intentionally or not. Still I am forced to believe that you and your organization are too big to stoop to anything that is small. Hoping that you will rectify the error and wishing you greater success with your present and future productions, I am sincerely, (Signed) Billy Pierce."

MR. DOUGHERTY FOR some reason unknown to the present editor of these pages, the self-styled sports and dramatic editor of one of our contemporaries, has seen fit on several occasions in his column to attempt to discredit the views of ye editor. Of course the excuse for this may be due to underlying motives of which we are not thoroughly cognizant. This is not the first time that the gentleman in question and the editor of these pages have differed as to what ought to constitute the ethics of journalism. We are convinced, however, that his remarks of last week require an answer and herewith we present same. First we apologize to readers of our pages for an excusable indulgence into what might be termed 'personal journalism.' For unlike our contemporary we do not think that the public generally is interested in such trash. However, self preservation being the first law of nature we find ourselves unable to pass unnoticed the imputations that were the basis of a full column editorial by the aged dramatic editor last week. We are not going to burden our readers with lengthy details such as our aged self-styled 'dean' of the profession did. We prefer to make it short and snappy. Among other things he objected to our use of the London Daily Express story on Paul Robeson, and accepted with thanks, our crediting him with being "one of England's greatest journalists." Well, as a matter-of-fact the aged 'dean' simply misinterpreted our meaning. Obviously if we should quote another writer and credit the individual over his by-line, any lauditory remarks coming from us must apply to the person whose name is mentioned in said by-line. Mr. Dougherty's name was not so mentioned. On the other hand it is our contention, and we have proven its value by past experience and experiment that a good story is always worth repeating. And I might add, it makes no difference to us where that story originated. Whether from the mouths of babies or from the pen of a self-styled 'dean' of the profession. And as far as the ethics of the profession is concerned, we might recall to the mind of our "former side partner and friend" that it was during those by-gone days that the paper of which he is now a member decided to use a story written exclusively by the editor of these pages for the Christmas edition of The New York News and which was known as "The Cigarette Girl" murder in Atlantic City. Not that we cared so much but the story was featured without the name of the writer over the by-line. Unethical journalism is what I thought it was but possibly your paper decreed otherwise. I might add, however, that several other papers made the same error of repeating my story word for word, except that all of them credited the source with the proper by-line. We might go further and show that the self-styled 'dean' of the profession sought by implication to influence our writings on the West End Theatre flasco, but without success. We might state that on numerous other occasions in the past "our former side partner and friend" has differed as to what is good and bad journalism. We might become egotistical enough to assume that possibly the good self-styled 'dean' of the profession resented the fact that he did not receive an invitation to the Robeson banquet to which he sneeringly refers as "an attempt of Mr. Bain to bask in the reflected glory of Mr. Robeson." And to which we reply and can prove it by laying a few dollars on the line that the home of Mrs. William Bridges, West 131st Street, was the place and that among other guests were former Alderman George W. Harris and Floyd J. Calvin of the Pittsburgh Courier. Friday November 15. 1929 FOR some reason unknown, pages, the self-styled spoon of our contemporaries, has seen column to attempt to discredit course the excuse for this man of which we are not thorough first time that the gentleman these pages have differed as the ethics of journalism.

And to which we reply to dollars on the line that the hon. 131st Street, was the place and former Alderman George W. H. Pittsburgh Courier. Backstage From the same vicinity comes the word that "Goat Alley," a remarkable melodrama, when in the flesh is being shot by Warner Bros. Studio. Evelyn Ellis, star of "Porgy" used "Goat Alley" as a stepping stone to her present eminence in the theatrical firmament, when she played the Alhambra Theatre in stock several years ago. Clarence Muse, Albertine Pickins and Bernice Pilot are among the principals and stars of the potential picture. "On With the Show," the first singing and dancing movietone featuring Ethel Waters is scheduled to make its appearance in Harlem at the Lafayette Theatre this Saturday.

Los Angeles reports that approximately 350 extras are actively employed at the various studios around Hollywood. Tiffany Stahl is shooting and rehearsing scenes of "Jungle," in which many colored performers are expected to participate. * * * "Make Me Know It," the classy colored vehicle, following close on the heels of "Harlem" in which Alma Smith had the lead closed up shop, after a few days run at Wallack's Theatre last week. This makes the third major flop within recent weeks in which colored artists found themselves left to the mercies of a fickle fate. The West End Theatre debacle was the first. Many causes are advanced by experts in the business, but lack of real entertainment value appears to be the prime factor.

At the Palace Theatre, 47th Street and Seventh Avenue, the goal of all vaudeville acts, Peg Leg Bates was a sensation last week. It is understood Bates has a leave of absence from Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" with whom he is said to have been under contract for three years. Leslie is credited with discovering Bates. * * * The Independent Booking Agency is gaining recognition from several of the metropolitan dailies in commendable manner. Last week the Evening Telegram carried a half column story of the work being done by this newly established colored theatrical agency, under the able guidance of Bernard Burt, former House Manager of the Lafayette Theare. * * * Our scouts out Hollywood way state that the beautiful, dynamic Nina Mac McKinney, universally acclaimed as one of the great stars of the movie realm, will be relieved of some tedious screen work hereafter—because they've found a perfect "double" for her. She is Miss Annis Logan, a 16-year-old Los Angeles school girl, who is so much the perfect reproduction of "Hallelujah's" famous star that people frequently stop her to ask if she is Miss McKinney. She can sing, dance, and therefore "double" for Nina Mae in some minor, but disagreeable, film work. * * * Katherine Noisette, who played the lead role in "When Men Betray" is making a determined and commendable effort to capture one of the five major awards in this year's "Queen of the Classic" and has the support of the Social Rounders to back her up. *** There's a rather large and nicely furnished front room at 216 West 133rd Street, just two flights up, that is an ideal place for a theatrical woman or a team.

Comathiere and Vivienne Baber Helps to Relieve Monotony UNLESS some very radical changes are made in the plot and cast of "Make Me Know It", by the time our readers get this issue of The Tattler the play will have found its way—far away from Broadway. "Make Me Know It" is the same piece that startled the natives of New Rochelle, with its recent tryout, and was brought to town for revision, with "improvement" as the motivating factor. But the "improvement" was hardly noticeable when it opened at Wallack's Theatre last week, even if we close our eyes to some of the most glaring mistakes—mistakes that ought to be laid at the door of stage-manager and director. LEARN TAPPING LEARN TO DANCE STAGE AND SOCIAL DANCES PROF. DARLING MACK'S STUDIOS 104 WEST 136th ST. Phone Brad. 6459 Of course from a sentimental point of view "Make Me Know It" is just the thing, but it so happens that box office receipts are not founded upon sentiment. Hence it is necessary that we face the facts no matter how painful to endure those facts are. Broadway is hardly ready for a production of the type "Make Me Know It" is. It smacks too much of that intellectuality, beauty and class with which Broadway would rather not associate her fellow colored citizens. It is not compelling enough to command whole-hearted appreciation. Based purely upon its value as an entertainment, and remembering always to whom it is catering, "Make Me Know It" is just a fair melodrama: throbbing with action and excitement but lacking the finished work one expects to find in characters who are attempting to portray politics, graft, racketeers, adopted daughters with vampire inclinations and all the rest that go to make life, either among Negroes or any other nationality. A. B. Comathiere, as "Bulge" Bannon, was the typical political ward boss in all his crookedness and cunning. His was the best performance of the evening. Vivienne Baber as Mona Bannon and the leading lady in the cast did some splendid work but her dramatic repetoire is hardly up to the standard Broadway demands in its leading ladies. It seems to us Miss Baber is best suited to musical comedy. Louis Schooler, Barrington Guy. Ollie Burgoyne and Enid Raphael all did well in the roles assigned to them. Julia Moses of the three Moses sisters who are members of the cast resembled the "Georgia Peach" in full bloom. The wise-cracking Messrs Brevard Burnett and Leo Bailey, tried hard and sometimes succeeded in causing the audience to giggle. Redeeming elements which helped to make the evening less monotonous were the red hot party which was staged in the second scene and music of Elmer Snowden's orchestra. Some of the love-making of Miss Baber and Mr. Guy looked as if they really meant it. The Rev. Washington Stubbs and Mrs. Sophie Crouch refusing the tainted money for their church work and community uplift. The crap game in which Tagger Daly "lost all." Finally, a word of thanks to Mr. Wallace Davis, for having the courage to present to Broadway audiences an intelligent play in which all of the characters are colored. "MAKE ME KNOW IT" By D.

RONATION PARTY La Clique Extraordinaire FUN — A Knight Amongst Beautiful Damsels — HILARITY THE TANGERINE SOCIETY GIRLS ON Sunday afternoon, November 10, at P. S. 139 on One Hundred and Fortieth Street near Lenox Avenue, Manhattan Concert Band No. 45 under the leadership of Prof. Alonzo Hardy gave the first of a series of concerts which are to be given the second Sunday in each month during the fall and winter. The band did very well indeed. We certainly must compliment them on playing in tune and playing without blasting. Of the various numbers rendered we enjoyed most the old standby "Poet and Peasant," and "Atlantis." The other numbers were well rendered but we thought that these two numbers were the best rendered. There were four soloists on the program and although they were well received, we felt there were too many. Miss Canagatta, soprano soloist, sang pleasingly. Mr. Joseph Lymas, violinist, played well but the soloist who impressed us most and whom we believe is destined to be heard from in a big way was David Johnson. Jr., a lad who plays the violin remarkably well. It indeed was unfortunate that young Johnson was not saved for a later concert and then he could have been the only soloist for the occasion. The programme was so well rendered that we forget that we must find fault, but we feel that the few suggestions which we are about to make may aid the band. We suggest that Mr. Hardy start on time. We realize that the master of ceremonies was late but the band should have started without him, he as exalted ruler of Manhattan Lodge should have been on time as an example to his brothers. The next suggestion is that the members of the band remain seated and quiet while the soloists perform; that La Clique Ext FUN — A Knight Amongst Bea THE TANGERINE of Brookly THE QUALIT of Manh PRESENT Spotlight Fri. 15 Eve. ROCKLAND THE MUSICIAN Luls (himself) SUBSCRIPTION courtesy is due them. It would be a good plan to arrange some way for the band to assemble outside of the auditorium and make their entry as a body, then when the director makes his entrance, he makes more of an impression on the audience and the whole affair takes on the professional atmosphere rather than the amateur. We congratulate Mr. Hardy and if he will continue to render programs of the first class, less so many soloists, we feel confident that his band will have a successful season. Bert Hall, president of the Rhythm Club and Fred Simpson director of Monarch Band No. 45 and treasurer of the Apex Bureau of the Clef Club, have filed nominations with Local 802 for candidacy on the trial board ticket. Both are capable men. They have been long identified with musical unions and they are well known to the officials of the local. This isn't Mr. Hall's first experience in running for a union office. He served as an officer and delegate for Local 208 of Chicago for many years. Lt. Simpson has been a member of the union about twenty-five years. He joined when only three or four negroes were members in New York City. Johnson's Happy Pals who played so successfully at the Savoy Ballroom, returned to Richmond, Virginia, and, so they have informed us. just completed a few records for the Okeh Phonograph Company.

FOR RENT 1 Room for Single Person 252 West 135th Street New York City * * * Abusing Great Fighters' Names Should Cease "ANOTHER SAM LANGFORD"—I'M LAUGHING A FEW weeks ago we watched Neil Clisby, the lad from the Pacific Coast whom experts out that way heralded a second Sam Langford. Verily these sooth-sayers argued without knowledge aforehand for comparing most ANYBODY with the one and only "Tham," is like building a causeway across the majestic and mighty Hudson without resort to tunneling of any sort. Jess McMahon, dean of small club promoters in former years and now owner of one of the largest arena's in the country, threw this big overgrown boy in with crafty Young Bob Fitzsimmons, a mighty dangerous and awkward trial horse for the best in the racket. Fitzsimmons, hog fat around the waist, and possessing only that unquenchable spark of courage—a heritage from his renowned father whose name will live as long as the sport of gloved fighting is chronicled, not only stayed through the ten boresome rounds, but managed to keep the youngster from living up to his press reports. Clisby, is just about a million miles away from being another "Sam Langford,"—in fact it is rather odious for us to link his name alongside that of one of the imperishable titans of Fistiana. Too often over-ballyhooing of a fine prospect results in ruining him completely. Week after week these self-appointed experts would send us reams of high pressure releases concerning the exploits of this supposed man-killer, until we sincerely looked forward to witnessing a throwback of the 1910 era that boasted a McVea, Jeanette, Langford, and a Jack Johnson among the heavyweight performers. This article is really no indictment against the fighting ability of Neil Clisby at this stage of his development,—rather it is a brief for the incomparable Langford who was a real man-killer. Formidable Record No man who can boast of a victory over herculean George Godfrey, can be accounted a poor ringman. Clisby, is only twenty-four years old, first seeing daylight at Riverside, California, July 25, 1905. His boxing career dates back to the latter part of 1925, slightly over three full years. In his eleventh engagement, they threw him in with George Godfrey where he was forced to concede close to fifty pounds in weight. For six rounds the youthful and fearless coast boxer flew at Jimmy Dougherty's hireling like a pit bulldog slashing and clawing at the unmovable man mountain until he was completely exhausted from his own efforts. In the seventh, the ponderous fist of Godfrey broke through the inexperienced Clisby's guard. and a K. O.

He was scarcely more than a lightheavyweight at the time—can you picture Tommy Loughran, Braddock, Lomski, et al, stepping in there with Godfrey as Clisby did and lasting seven heats?—I Can't. Neil ought to outlive that poor performance before a critical New York audience inside of a year, and with the added weight he will necessarily acquire, figures to have quite a lot to say in the 1930 heavyweight congress. He has whipped such outstanding heavies as John Lester Johnson, Mack House (three K. O. victories in one, two, and three rounds), Long Tom Hawkins, conqueror of Godfrey on five occasions, losing once to Hawkins on a technical K. O. in 3 rounds); Sam Baker, Bob Lawson, Bearcat Wright, "Big" Bill Hartwell, and a raft of other good ones. A good fighter,—but I'm seriously laughing when my colleagues hail him as a second Sam Langford. McVey-Smith Bout Harry Smith, sensational young middleweight, feels confident that on the morning of November 17, he will be greeted as the boss of the 160 pound boxers of African ancestry. Never have we talked with a cockier young chap than this dynamic punching youngster but recent up from the amateur ranks where he never met defeat. Apparently he is unmindful of the fact that in Jack McVey, he is stacking up against one of the most courageous and craftiest fighters in the racket, a man who has run the gamut of practically every outstanding welterweight and middleweight of class in the land. McVey, never given to making pre-battle statements, is training like a beaver in order not to be caught napping by the ambitious West Indian scrapper who packs a kick like the butt of a mountain ram. It will be the sock against the defensive skill and greater experience of a lad who should have reigned champion in at Howar THE ORIGI MUNICIPAL STADIUM Thanksgiving Reserved Seats $2. Great demand for sold at Tattler N. J.; W. G. A. By Alvin J. Moses least one division. McVey's critics have always deplored that seemingly lazy glide of his from corner towards opponent, and vice versa. What they fail to appreciate is, he has two of the swiftest pair of arms extant, and as a counter boxer, ranks head and shoulders over anyone. We expect McVey to emerge victor over Smith, even as he did over that sweet socking Pennsylvanian Allentown Joe Gans some years back, when most of the experts predicted he'd be knocked out.

Renaissance Champions Lick Classy Chicago Bruins 44-22 In one of the fastest and most scientific games of the current season, Bob Douglas's celebrated Renaissance Five ran roughshod over the greatly press agented Chicago 'Bruins' of the American Basketball League, last Sunday night at Renaissance Casino. Its rather a difficult matter to nominate a star who stood head and shoulders above the others, for throughout the full forty minutes of cyclonic action, Ricks, Jenkins, and Cooper played marvelous ball. No man this season has come to Renaissance Casino with greater shooting ability than Grieve of the Chicagoans who played opposite guard to the inimitable Clarence (Fats) Jenkins. It didn't matter whether his position was the center of the court, or directly under the basket, Grieve was a howling terror, pulling off shots that brought the house down around his ears in thunderous applause. The "Says The Dean" Years ago we pinned the above monicker on Romeo L. Dougherty, Sporting and Dramatic Editor of the Amsterdam News—and it has become the byword of contemporaries in the line. Words fail us in our attempt to tell you how hard we'll strive to live up to all you had to say of us in your columns last week, old Pal. It sort o' crept under the skin hard fashion—you understand. (Ed's Note) first half ended 16-11 in favor of New York's pride, thanks to some great last minute playing on the part of Jenkins. The guarding of both quintets was of a high nature throughout the hectic twenty minutes, and the floor work of Grieve in dropping shots that sailed through the basket as clean as a whistle. The second half was nothing near as interesting or as spectacular as the initial cant. "Pappy" Ricks, the daddy of them all—regardless of color, once inside the fifteen foot line, dominated the situation and practically put the game on the well known ice for the "Rens". Ricks counted no less than five field baskets in the closing half alone, his mates combining to make the final count stand Renaissance-44, Chicago Bruins,-22. In a thrilling preliminary tilt, the Scholastics defeated the Defender Five in a amateur League game by a score of 34-31.

Collegians Easy Victors In a smartly played exhibition of basketball last Saturday night at beautiful Alhambra Ballroom, the Original Collegians defeated the Newark Elks to the tune of 59-20. Shortly after referee Chris ("Dutch") Huiswoud blew his whistle starting the game, big Joe Mills scored the first point for the amateur champs on a foul. Crip Romney followed with a field basket, and the cool, cagy youngsters who hope to win the round robin among simon-pure aggregations again this season, were well off on their way to victory. The work of Johnny Holt, Al Eldridge, "Horse" Steel, and Joe Mills, was marvelous throughout the full twenty minutes of the first half. Newark didn't appear to have a ghost of a chance against the deadly shooting Collegians who rolled up the impressive score of 36-9 at halftime—veritably a rout. We are grateful to Al ("Chink") Lind, for the notes he sends into this department re the Collegians games each week.

Redding, baritone, pupil of Henry T. Gurney, on Monday evening last, when he appeared in concert at the Bethel Baptist Church, of which the Rev. C. C. Scott is pastor. Mr. Hill was assisted by Mrs. Florence A. Williams, dramatic reader, with Mrs. W. Franklin Hoxter as accompanist, Mrs. Hoxter rendering as a piano solo "Drifting." Mrs. Williams was entertaining in her dramatic readings, particularly in Scene 1, from "The Tragedy of Blind Margaret." She gave also "St. Peter at the Gate" and "Tit for Tat." Mr. Reddin who has a voice of much volume, gave a very heavy program, including such difficult numbers as "I Fear No Foe," "Invictus" by Huhn, and "Deep in the Mine" by Jude. He showed excellent rage in his rendition of "Invictus." In the rendition of "Pale Moon" there was considerable warmth and feeling, which cannot be said of his rendition of Dvorak5s "Goin' Home." With a voice such as is possessed by Mr. Redding, who has an abundance of grit, and with continued study, there is no reason why he should not take rank as a good baritone soloist. * * * Mr. John Alston and Miss Willetta Matthews, daughter of Bishop and Thanksgiving Dance Thursday, Nov. 28, 1929 MUSICIANS' HALL 120 N. 18th STREET Come Meet the Tattler's "Queen of the Classic" For 1929 SUBSCRIPTION—$1.00 'TATTLERS' Can be purchased in Philadelphia from MR.

The disease is divided into three stages: pre-ataxia (failure of muscular coordination); a tacic stage of paralysis. The principal signs are loss or lessening of the tendon reflexes; change in the light reflex of 1 the pupils of the eye; disorders in coordination of the muscles and sensory changes. One of the tests in coordination is to have the patient touch his nose with the index finger while his eyes are closed, first with the right, then with the left hand. When the ataxia is present the attempt goes wide of the mark. Another test for the same purpose is to have the patient, with the arms outstretched bring his forefingers together, tip to tip. This he is unable to do. As the ataxia increases in the hands, patients become less able to properly use their fingers in buttoning their coats, or in picking up small objects from the table. If the patient extends his hands with the fingers wide apart, the muscles contract and relax involuntary causing relative change in the position of the fingers. Wasting of the muscles and paralysis are complications of the disease. The symptoms of tabes are quite extensive and require much study and in many cases the services of a trained neurologist are required. three) running neck and neck.

Candidate, Jumps Forward In Tight Race for 'Classic' Prize Former "Make Me Know It" Wild-Flower Climbs Into 'Charmed Circle'—First Comedy-Drama Prize Winner to Get 150,000 Votes—One Full Week Left Before Curtain—Ceremonies at Bamboo Inn WITH just one more week remaining before the 1929 "Queen of the Classic" contest will have become historical, the leading candidates seem to be marking time, with the idea in view of making a grand and glorious finish for the first five prizes. After the final returns were tabulated last week it was found that the leading candidates practically remained status quo but several of their rivals for first honors climbed within hailing distance and once more demonstrated that "the last shall be first, etc." For in this connection it is only necessary to point to the spectacular jump of Miss Jean Powers, who was first supported by the much heralded "Make Me Know It" company, but who is now being supported by Reale Brothers.

She declares further that next week will find her name listed among the first five and that at the end she will be sitting "on top of the world." The enthusiasm of Miss Powers is to be respected but there are fifty possible winners in this year's "Queen of the Classic," all of whom are liable to give her the battle of her life before 6 p.m., Sunday, November 24. Another young lady who took a firmer grip among the first five is Miss Sevirna Saunders of New Rochelle, N. Y. Miss Saunders moved upward from fifth to third position by increasing her vote total to 177,000. A rather interesting feature of the contest thus far is the apparent ability of Miss Edna Barnes, of Cedar Manor, L. I., to keep her position at the top secure. In doing this for the third week consecutively she has compiled a record in contests of this kind. The friends of Miss Barnes deserve unstinted praise for their loyal support in keeping their candidate in front. To Wadleigh High School and the calibre of students that institution turns loose upon the world must go the palm for the splendid work of her two leading students—the Misses Marie Griffith and Eunice Miller—both of whom have done some very good work in the contest thus far and to whom other Wadleigh students are looking to save their Alma Mater. Miss Griffith by exceptional effort has placed herself in among the first five candidates and Miss Miller is just a short stride CONTESTANT Name Supporter Edna Barnes, Cedar Manor, L. I.

The undoubted popularity of these girls is making for them many firm friends. Miss Christine Murphy, another late entrant in the contest, is making a game fight to gain one of the coveted awards and improved her position from ninth to seventh during the past week. The Misses Gloria McCutcheon and Mae Swails, both of whom made excellent showings at the beginning of the contest, did not improve their positions last week. Misses Katherine Noisette and Alma Weaver are run- ming almost neck and neck, a difference of one year subscription or 2,000 votes separating them. Euth Church. Esme Birkbeck and Jessie Crawford are being displaced by more active candidates. All three of these young ladies have loads of friends who were expected to support them with their dollars for votes but so far very little has materialized for any of them. It is regrettable too, because otherwise they are pleasing personalities. A A midsummer pose of GERTRUDE WILLIAMS, who competed in the Apex Beauty Contest last week. Miss Williams finished second to Alice Davis in the "Queen of the Classic" of 1926.
